If this doesn't look like an attempt for some sort of world dominance, I don't know what would. We cannot allow this to be a sideways war, pitting Conservative vs Liberal. The common cause is up and down. These pricks all have tons of money. They don't give a shot about any of us and truly don't

Striking to me that those that were forced to live with guns can so willingly surrender them first chance they get.
Contrast that with the 2nd amendment "from my cold dead hands..." group.

Before I was an NBA writer, I was a pro poker player for 12 years. I played against many pro athletes, including Ty Lue a few times.

Here's a snapshot of that period of my life, and thoughts on Lue's alleged connection to Chauncey Billups' private game:

Tyronn Lue's reputation inside the Las Vegas poker circles was a good one among us professional players.

Yeah! Let me sink the very Company that provides my dependable paycheck in exchange for a 1 time payment that won't even cover my bills!
YIPPPPEEEEEE!
(The tariffs are an unnecessary financial drag on the bottom line)
Always so fucking stupid.

A one-time $2,000 check does not address the issue of high prices. The prices will remain high after the money is spent.

Trump is offering to put a band-aid on his self afflicted gun-shot wound.

Trump’s approval rating drops to a dismal 37%.

Trump: Free $2,000 for everyone!!!

Just Schumer out here playing with fire, like the past his primetime player he is.
Better hope it doesn't blow up in your face.
If Schumer is voting no, then who put this deal together?

It's like the Jerry Lewis Telethon in reverse.
$40B of your money to this guy, so he can dance at CPAC at Mar-a-Lago while Americans wait for their paychecks, hoping the money actually comes.

He rode the coattails 70 years on a discovery he made at 25.
That sole discovery gave him enough hubris to shut out debate on important issues like race and gender.
He "knew" he was smarter than everyone else in the room, so he refused to debate.
History does repeat.
Let's push the timeline a little
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Don't believe your own lying eyes.
Who's that sitting down the table putting his hands on his face, just knowing this is all bullshit.
At what point do the R's realize he doesn't give a shit about anyone or anything not him.

You simply can’t imagine the coverage if a Dem president told Americans to shut the fuck up about high prices
Trump: Our groceries are way down. Everything is way down. So I don't want to hear about the affordability.

Are we all actually comfortable every time shit like this comes up?
We ruined an entire generation of service members by continually redeploying them in the ME.
Now we ask our young people to round up people in their own communities?
They will all be numb and evil.
Mark my words...
I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

Get a load of this shit.
Cops say they know everyone's comings and goings in their town and they're not afraid to use it against you.
Doesn't matter if the evidence shows what they say it does.
This allows harassment of innocent people. Misidentification on purpose could be a very dangerous slope.
However bad you think the police surveillance state has become, it’s worse. Here a tiny police force has blanketed a tiny town in a network of cameras to track every person and vehicle that goes through. Which leads a cop to this woman’s house to lie to her to coax a false confession.
